How do you know until you've fermented something at home and risked life, limb, dead babies etc. by consuming it? I think more people die from food poisoning in restaurants each year than people do from doing something stupid while making sourdough bread, natto, tempeh, kombucha, beer, wine etc. at home.
- elcritch 2y agoAlso, it’s usually pretty obvious when fermenting goes bad. My take is fermentation takes a while which really allows the biological process to become really positive or really rancid.
- Brian_K_White 2y agoIt doesn't solve anything because it's an individual action to a societal problem.
- daneel_w 2y agoThere's no societal problem of hidden deaths because of fermented foods. But assuredly there is because of "safe" ultra-processed convenience foods.
- Brian_K_White 2y agoThe societal problem is that we have low quality food. Across the board. Every where you go, all that's available is mostly low quality. The option to spend more money, or have your own garden, or do some kind of home production is a vanishingly insignificant individual action that solves nothing except for like 11 people.
